Arianna & Christopher reached out to us shortly after Christmas time because they needed a Maui Wedding Coordinator. We are so glad they did! This sweet Alaska couple was a dream to work with, and we love all thoughtful details they included in their ceremony.

A small group of family joined them for nuptials overlooking the ocean. The vows they wrote for each other had everyone in tears, and they also included Hawaiian elements in their ceremony with Reverend Kimo. Arianna selected a pastel color pallet for her custom bouquet, which perfectly complemented her invitations, ring boxes, and the dreamy ocean in the distance.

Maui Wedding Coordination at the Steeple House

The Steeple House is a private venue in Kapalua where we offer Maui Wedding Coordination. It’s just up the road from Ironwoods Beach, which was Arianna’s original choice for their ceremony location. They ended up getting the best of both worlds. The privacy and comfort of a venue, and stunning beach portraits at sunset!

Arianna added extra time with Karma Hill Photography so that she could capture getting ready shots in the onsite bridal suite. We think it was totally worth it – there’s nothing like those final moments before a couple walks down the aisle! The trees on the ceremony lawn created a natural frame for the ceremony, and an indoor chapel was available if there was rain. Luckily for these two, the day was clear and sunny, so they just used the chapel space for a few portraits.

Our Couple’s Story

Arianna and Christopher are both accountants who worked together after college. They had caught each others’ eyes then but didn’t end up getting together until years later. They reconnected, thanks to a mutual friend who invited them on a hike. Arianna and Christopher were faster hikers than their friend, so they spent most of the 10 hour day alone together, enjoying the outdoors and getting to know each other. We bet their friend was in great shape and just wanted to give these two time to connect 😉 Good thing he did, because now they’re madly in love!

It turns out Christopher is quite the romantic! We saw it as we spent the evening with them as their Maui wedding coordinator, and we had already heard about it from Arianna! She said he planned the most romantic proposal, complete with a heartfelt letter, rose petals, a scenic location, and lots of tears. Fast forward a year, and these two got married in another scenic location with their heartfelt vows, lots of flowers, and even more tears!

Congratulations, Arianna & Christopher! We loved being your Maui Wedding Coordinator, and we wish you all the best!

A Maui beach wedding wasn’t always the plan for Monique & Brian. But after their California wedding was cancelled twice due to Covid, they realized there was no better place to wed then Maui! After all, they got engaged at Makena Cove and took portraits at Maluaka Beach. The island has a special place in their hearts!

They loved their Maluaka beach portraits so much, they chose that exact spot for their Maui beach wedding. The tide was high, but we had just enough room for a sweet ceremony with a gorgeous backdrop. If you look closely, you can see the other side of Maui and the island of Kaho‘olawe in the distance!

A Maui Beach Wedding Was Meant to Be

After their vows, Monica exclaimed “Finally!” which sparked laughter and cheers from their guests. This patient pair met nine years ago and kept trying to get married during Covid. Their relief was palpable as they finally arrived to their ceremony and finally got to be husband & wife!

Monique & Brian had their first dance right on the beach. Jimi from Manutea Nui E serenaded them to the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and some guests quietly sang along as they admired the sweet newlyweds. It all felt especially meant to be, because Jimi was the musician at their hotel the night before – all the way on the other side of the island! He had talked with the group for a while, not realizing he’d be their wedding musician!

Picture Perfect

After group photos, it was time for newlywed portraits with Karma Hill Photography. Monique & Brian were blessed with a beautiful sunset, so it was a stunning evening with a stunning couple. Check out that golden lighting!

We loved the attire at this Maui beach wedding. Monqiue chose her dress when she thought she was having a big wedding back home, but with a tropical bouquet it looked perfect on the beach. Brian looked dapper in his tan suit. It was like working with professional models!

Congratulations, Monique & Brian! We’re so glad we got to be a part of your Maui Beach Wedding, and we wish you all the best!

Kristin & Marquis are so beautiful and kind – they definitely deserved this beautiful destination wedding in Maui! They dreamed of a fun & chic wedding in a tropical setting. So they booked the lawn at Pacific’O in Lahaina for their ceremony and hired Simple Maui Wedding to plan it! This venue is steps away from Lahaina Shores Beach, which boasts calm water, clear skies, and amazing sunset views. We loved working with them at this beautiful spot!

Natural Beauty for a Destination Wedding in Maui

When you have such a stunning backdrop for your wedding, you don’t need much decoration. Kristin & Marquis chose natural colors for their flowers and arch. The neutral tones added the perfect touch to their ceremony spot without taking away from the natural beauty surrounding them. We love their tropical and elegant style!

Dellables Floral provided their flowers and arch, and Karma Hill Photography captured all the details! Keep scrolling to see all the beauty from this destination wedding in Maui!

College Sweethearts

Kristin & Marquis met as freshmen in college when they were in the same theater class. They went from friends to dating, and from dating to breaking up. Oh No! Of course, their story didn’t end there. Nine years later they got back together and were more in love than ever!

Now they have 2 kids, demanding jobs, and an adorable shih-tzu named David Vickers! This was their first time to Maui, and they were making the most of their vacation with their family and friends. Their destination wedding in Maui was such a blast!

Congratulations, Kristin & Marquis! We’re sending you lots of love as you settle in at home as husband & wife!

A Maui Beach elopement wasn’t always the plan for Jodi & David. Originally they planned a a Colorado mountain wedding for summer 2020. When everything changed, this adventurous couple changed their plans too. Just the two of them on a beach in Maui. We know Jodi & David would have had a great wedding anywhere, but we’re so glad they ended up marrying in Maui!

About our Couple

Jodi and David met through a friend over 8 years ago. Since then, they’ve enjoyed wine tasting trips, time with their daughters, and traveling! They take walks at a small lake near their house. One evening during their walk, they sat down and enjoyed the mountain views. That’s when Dave asked Jodi to marry him. She was surprised and of course said yes!

Their engagement was full of ups & downs as Covid affected their planning. But it seemed like all the stars had aligned for them as they enjoyed a beautiful Hawaii evening for their Maui beach elopement!

Ironwoods at Sunset for a Maui Beach Elopement

Ironwoods was the perfect setting for Jodi & David’s Maui beach elopement. It was a short drive from their hotel, where they were enjoying a great vacation! They married with their toes in the sand and then took some pictures on the dramatic seaside cliffs. We love all the shots they got with Karma Hill Photography! Keep scrolling to see how the lighting became pastel and golden as the sunset!

Mahalo, Jodi & David, for choosing us to plan your Maui beach elopement. We loved meeting you and wish you all the best!!

There was magic in the air during Kathleen and Andrew’s Maui Wedding on the shore of Poʻolenalena Beach. With only the ocean to bear witness and warm sand beneath their feet, this was a ceremony with all the elements of an unforgettable union. And you don’t want to miss the trash the dress photography that came afterward! 

The Maui Wedding

Waiting for the love of his life, Andrew looked sleek in a tailored black tux. As he turned to take in Kathleen, his expression was collected and warm. The woman of his dreams was about to become his wife. Draped in a gown of lace with a summer-inspired flower crown and graceful waves, Kathleen was gorgeous! It was little wonder why this amazing couple couldn’t stop staring at each other! 

Following a mellow yet stunning ceremony, Kathleen and Andrew celebrated with cake and spectacular couple’s photos against the pastel sunset. Keep scrolling for their trash the dress session and a bursting sunset of fiery rays! 

Trash the Dress Photography

Two days after their lovely ceremony, our photography team at Karma Hill Photography met up with Kathleen and Andrew once more. But this time it was on the rustic shore of Ironwoods in Kapalua. We loved how these two let loose and indulged in the ocean waves! 

Our Couple’s Story

Kathleen and Andrew are both pharmacists at the Portland VA Hospital. They love hiking, learning how to cook, traveling, working out on their Peloton, and of course watching TV (their new favorite show is The Masked Singer). Together they have two fur babies, their dogs Pikachu and Luca. 

Kathleen and Andrew met while they were in pharmacy school and have been together for nine years. One special day while they were relaxing at home, Andrew turned to her and said, “Hey, let’s get married.” And of course, she said yes! We love how natural and easy going these two are! Just look at those smiles! 

Congratulations, Kathleen and Andrew, for trusting us with your Maui Wedding and Trash the Dress Photography! It was a joy working with you, and we send our warmest Aloha.

It was a spectacular, fiery day during Antoinette and Jonathan’s Maui Vow Renewal. With a handful of loved ones in attendance and plenty to celebrate, there was no shortage of joy on the beach! The island even celebrated with a blazing sunset over Baldwin Beach that took our breath away!

The Maui Vow Renewal

After their tender vows, Antoinette and Jonathan were treated to a performance of  “How Long Will I Love You” by Ellie Goulding, all performed by their talented seven-year-old daughter. The moment was beyond charming! After popping the cider to celebrate, our couple and their guests sliced into the cake and gave cheers to a decade of love.

Our Couple’s Story

When asked about their love story, Jonathan replied, “Antoinette and I have been married for 10 years. We met in Nursing School and are both from the Philippines, but we currently reside in Maryland working as nurses. We have a beautiful daughter named Sophia who recently turned 7, and we love to travel as a family and spend time outdoors.”

“My wife and I first met in Nursing School. After we graduated, my wife went home to the Philippines, and I realized that she was the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I proposed to her as soon as she came back to the U.S.” How sweet is that?! Keep scrolling for more of this amazing couple and that spectacular sunset! 

Mahalo nui loa, Antoinette & Jonathan, for trusting us with your beautiful Maui vow renewal! It was our joy to work with you. We wish you all the happiness in the many decades ahead and send our warmest Aloha.

Tiffany and Jairus didn’t plan to Elope in Maui, but with COVID and the complications it created, a beach elopement seemed like the perfect solution. And it was certainly a gorgeous and joyous solution! Set on the white sands of Southside Beach, Tiffany and Jairus said “I do” with the salty ocean breeze at their back and the tropical sun on their shoulders. 

Elope in Maui 

We love when couples choose to elope in Maui because they can express their love in their own unique way. Celebrating back home with an after party with loved ones is always an option and a great way to share the experience. There was no question how happy and warm Tiffany and Jairus felt as they tied the knot. 

Wearing a long-sleeved gown of intricate lace and carrying a bouquet to match the pastel beach skies, Tiffany was absolutely lovely. We could not look away as Tiffany and Jairus stood side by side and shared sweet lean-ins and warm smiles. 

Our Couple’s Story

Tiffany and Jairus are both tax accountants. They love spending time as a couple by trying new restaurants, going out for brunch, taking long walks, and struggling to find TV shows to watch together. As of right now, the only one they can agree on is The Office! They’re giving off all the Jim and Pam vibes! 

Maui was the destination for their first vacation together back in 2018, and it holds a special place in their hearts. It was the perfect place to elope! The rest of their big day is right here on the blog! 

Congratulations, Tiffany and Jairus! Thank you for selecting us to help you elope in Maui. We wish you all the joy and happiness in the years ahead!

It was endless joy and love at Shannara and Tre’s Destination Wedding in Maui. Set on the grassy knoll of Gannon’s and overlooking the panoramic coastal view, loved ones cheered on this very special union. We were thrilled to be part of such an amazing and sweet wedding day!

The Destination Wedding in Maui 

The day was clear and breezy with fragrant blooms and ocean sprays scenting the air. Our photography team captured beautiful getting-ready shots as Shannara put on her finishing touches in the condo. Wearing a gown with illusion lace designs and an elaborate train, Shannara was impossible to look away from. We could not get enough of her genuine smile and natural beauty.

You know who else couldn’t? Keep scrolling for Tre’s touching reaction as he sees his bride in her gown for the first time. 

Our Couple’s Story

Tre is a Police Officer for the Seattle Police Department, and Shannara is waiting for the stay-at-home order to be lifted to finish the last part of school to become a Medical Assistant. They have one fur baby, a Goldendoodle named Boris. In their free time, Tre likes to play football for intramural league and play video games. Shannara spends most of her days with Boris and also enjoys cooking and gardening. She really enjoys going to concerts and festivals. As a couple, they enjoy hiking, kayaking, and exploring food.

Shannara grew up in Maui and lived here until she was twenty-one. After moving to Seattle, she fell in love with the city as she stood at a special point. Then one day, she met Tre, who was already working as a police officer. The connection was instant. When the time was right, Tre took Shannara back to that special spot in Seattle and asked her to marry him. Clearly, she said yes! And the next step was a Maui Destination Wedding!  

Congratulations, Shannara and Tre! It was a joy working with you and helping to turn your Destination wedding in Maui into a reality! Thank you for your service, Tre! We wish you both all the joy and happiness in the decades ahead!

Mona and Nathan’s Maui Venue Wedding took place on the oceanside lawn of the 5 Palms in Wailea, and what a breathtaking day it was! With plenty of sunlight and an island breeze to cool the guests, Mona and Nathan took the wonderful step of starting their journey as husband and wife. 

The Maui Venue Wedding

The day was vibrant with glistening oceans and clear skies. We loved how both the bride and groom made their entrance arm and arm with their loving parent. The smiles were contagious! The moment Mona stepped out into the aisle was magical. A hush came over the venue and Nathan clasped his hands together as he watched her, so ready to tie his life together with his beautiful bride. 

Our Couple’s Story

Mona and Nathan are both pharmacists who grew up in Oregon! Together they love exploring the Pacific Northwest, traveling, trying out new recipes, and hanging with family. They met at work and dated while Mona was finishing up pharmacy school. It seemed like Fate had prescribed them “love of the century,” and Nathan knew the time was right. During a hike along the Columbia Gorge, Nathan asked Mona to spend the rest of her life with him. And the rest of their story is right here on the blog! 

Mahalo, Mona and Nathan, for trusting us with your Maui Venue Wedding. It was a joy working with you, and we wish you all the very best in the decades ahead!

If we had to choose one word to describe Kimberly and Johnnie’s Maui Venue Elopement, it would be unforgettable. Set on the sweeping grounds of the Dragon Fruit Farm in Lahaina with a panoramic ocean view and tropical blooms scenting the air, this ceremony was simply gorgeous. And with a lovely couple who shared plenty of laughter and sweet moments, the day was flooded with love. 

The Maui Venue Elopement

The moment Kimberly graced the lawn was pure magic. Wearing an endless veil, an elegant lace gown, and an up-do fit for royalty, she clearly took Johnnie’s breath away. The love shared between these two was palpable. Kimberly and Johnnie were married in front of a circular arch decorated with greenery and fragrant blooms with the aqua waters glistening in the backdrop. From tender vows to megawatt smiles, these two were over the moon to say “I do.”

Following the ceremony, our photography crew escorted our couple to the shoreline for a few beach shots against the setting sun. And Kimberly and Johnnie traveled there in style in a classic convertible cruiser! We loved the way her veil waved and cheered as they drove off! Keep scrolling for a sunset as vibrant and beautiful as our couple!

Congratulations, Kimberly and Johnnie! We had a wonderful time working with you to turn your Maui venue elopement into a reality! We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades to come!

You know those days that are so unbelievably happy that everything feels like it has a golden glow around it? That’s the vibe we got from Courtney and Tanner’s Hawaii micro wedding. The happiness had no end. Set against the sweeping west Maui views of Gannon’s grassy knoll, this lovely ceremony featured adoring guests, bursts of tropical flowers, and the salty breeze of the ocean. 

The Hawaii Micro Wedding

Tanner was nothing but smiles as he awaited the entrance of his bride. And as an untraditional (but awesome) little twist, there wasn’t a flower girl but a flower MAN! Devin tossed those flowers like a seasoned pro and primed the grass with petals for Courtney’s grand entrance. And what a gorgeous bride she was! Wearing a lace gown with her hair in smooth yet beachy waves, it’s little wonder why Tanner couldn’t stop smiling! 

After celebrating their union with friends and family, we whisked Courtney and Tanner away to catch the setting sun on the shoreside. With soft, golden lighting that ended in a dramatic fiery sunset, it was the perfect send-off to a beautiful wedding day. But it didn’t end there! Our photography team also captured the fun-filled reception. Keep scrolling for the celebratory shots! 

Congratulations, Courtney and Tanner! Thank you for trusting us with being the coordinators for your Hawaii micro wedding. It was a joyous day, and you are a beautiful couple! We wish you all the happiness and sweet memories in the years ahead.

Jessica described her dream Venue Wedding in Maui as being “full of love,” and we have to say she really got it right! This beautiful ceremony took place in the historic ruins of the Trinity by the Sea church among loved ones and beneath the soft tropical sky. This is a wedding that can’t be missed!

The Venue Wedding in Maui

Located on the Kihei coast, the Trinity by the Sea church is a spectacular wedding venue that perfectly melds the traditional church setting with rustic, tropical elements. Looking great in his dress uniform, James wore the most sincere and sweet look as he watched his beautiful bride and partner for life as she made her way down the aisle.

We’re in love with Jessica’s Celtic-inspired bell sleeves and cathedral-length train. With her hair in delicate curls and wearing an expression of pure love, Jessica was simply gorgeous. The tender exchanges and meaningful moments throughout the ceremony were beyond touching and spoke volumes to the size of this couple’s love. 

Our Couple’s Story

Jessica and James met through Bumble, as so many of our couples have! Jessica was balancing work and taking care of three children as a single mom, while James was busy with his career as an Air Force pilot. Both found that the online dating world was the only reasonable option for their schedules. And it worked! After a few months of dating, Jessica and James fell in love. Then a year later, James proposed on Christmas day while they were visiting his son in North Dakota. These photos say it all, this love is here to stay! 

Congratulations, Jessica and James! Your ceremony was beautiful, and it was our pleasure to be a part of your journey. We wish you all the love and sweet moments in the decades ahead!
